iStudiez Pro for Mac update 1.0.4 submitted for approval

By iStudiez Team September 26, 2011

Since the release of version 1.0.3 we received numerous letters from you. Most were all about optimization of the app for Lion, but there were also some other issues that needed our attention. So we analyzed your feedback and worked to implement most claimed options and fix most common crashes.

The update 1.0.4 is already submitted for approval, now waiting Apple’s feedback.

What’s new:

Enhanced for OS X Lion: full screen support, basic restore (app will open where you left it)
Week view now supports overnight events as well as events that start before 4 a.m.
Data is saved to disk automatically when any change is made in the app
Added alert message to prevent occasional delete of courses and semesters

Fixed and improved:

Fixed synchronization of cancelled classes and exams
Fixed swapped actions for “Cancel Classes” and “Keep Cancelled” buttons
Fixed problem causing exams to be duplicated on several days in Overview
Fixed day change refresh
Fixed improper ordering of courses in Planner
Fixed bug preventing input of decimal credits
Improved drag & drop of classes in Planner
Improved assignments list layout
Minor improvements in localizations

Gianluca

Thanks for Lion support =)
Russell Ladd

All the changes look great and I’m sure will make the app fundamentally easier to use. I used iStudiez Pro all of last year and look forward to another year assisted by the software! Thank you!
Luca

Will there be any possibility to show Google Calendar events in iStudiez? Because I’m synchronising different calendars (on one account) and it only shows the ones that are not classified (i.e. Work/University etc…)

  Luca, we will work on this in the future. So far there are some technical problems with that.
Tony

What about iStudiez for Windows, any plans to develop it?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Tony, the idea is there, but we cannot define any framework for that so far.
Jannick

Will we ever be able to print our schedules?
Tania

I have iStudiez Pro on my iPhone and iPad. If I download the app for my iMac will everything sync together and If that does work is it possible to transfer data from these devices to the iMac, ie input calendar event using iPhone- sync and that event doesn’t get lost. Sorry it’s a new iMac and I’m just getting to grips with it
Pedro

Will you guys add iCloud Sync???
Christopher

Yes PC please! Thanks.
Alexander

Will you add iCal sync support? I would love to be able to view everything from iStudiez in my main iCal calendar and take advantage of the functions of iCal.
Michael

Thanks for the quick update. These past few weeks have been my only experience with the Mac version crashing continuously in Lion (usually when I would enter a grade for a completed assignment ; and sometimes during a sync). Hope it helps.
Fuxus

It would be great to see the iStudiez events in iCal too
Antoine

Thks for the update ! A few ideas for the future versinos :
– add repeating tasks
– add the same mini-calendar view on the Mac version as on the iOS version (meaning it’ll be great to see a paper clip on the mini-month calendar of the Mac version when we have a task – as on the iOS version)
– add a possibility to see that we’ve got tasks on a day on the week view (Mac version)

I like the new update, some old bugs are gone, but some new came:
– When I open the preview of a class to cancel it, the Preview Window don´t want to close, so I need to restart the app
– I can’t sync data to my iPod from my Mac
LGM

The update wiped all my previous added data. It still crashes continually. So much for a fix. Very frustrating.
Maria

A big Month view for overview (instead of or in addition to small one to the right) would be awesome!!!!!
I love iStudiez pro you guys did an awesome job!!! its made college a lot easier for keeping up with assignments and easily entering them whenever needed. Thank you for Lion support!!! just got a mac book air for college so its a great app to go with a computer for school
Anusha

Can you also add Syllabus field.I would like to have my course syllabi with me to check things out.
Anusha

Also to view events in iCal.
Till

The sync with thy iPad app does not work.
I just downloaded the MacApp, pressed the sync button and it asked me which data I want to use, I ticked „local data“ (or something like this, I do not really remember and I am using the german version – btw nice translations 😉 – but I am sure I have not chosen the cloud thing). After this I synced the iPadApp, too and all my classes, teachers and so on disappeared :(.
Is this a known bug and will it be fixed with the next update of the iPad version or did I make a mistake?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Till, this is your mistake if you chose “From my Mac” when your data was actually on your iPad, then of course you lost your data.
teinuu

When I delete a lecture, the calendar on the right will disappear. Also, when I installed the newest version and synced it with my iPhone 3GS, the phone lost everything and won’t get anything synced. My fault or is there some kind of bug?
Anusha

Can you add syllabus tab in both the versions to carry the syllabus around and iCal sync to view the events in iCal?
Michael

Update is a big help. Working much better now. Thanks.

iStudiezPro no longer works for me in Lion. Crashes every time.
Also, I really REALLY want Calendar events that are added within the app itself (Schedule > + > New Calendar Event) to show in the desktop version. Why isn’t this a feature? I don’t and won’t use iCal!!!
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Sheena, please send us your crash logs.
Kate

Great app! But on mac lion impossible to use 24 hours format which is really annoying and it is not evident how to change the way the sync will go – through server or from the device. =(((
Brian

1.0.4 was working fine for me, yet I lost the ability to sync from my iphone (all of my courses and instructors disappeared). Also, 1.0.4 deleted at least two of my courses on the desktop application, along with all their assignments. What can I do to fix this?
Maximilian

Thanks for the update!
Could we please have full iCal – iStudiez sync, which will enable us to see iStudiez events in iCal as well!
I would like have the option to change individual letters, sometimes the odd lecture is in a different room, but I don’t want to add a new class in Istudiez to do just this. So an edit option for individual dates would be great! This could also enable me, to add individual elements of my syllabus.
Thanks for all your work!
Till

Okay, but how can I fix it? 😀
The data is still on my mac and synced to the cloud. It is the same account on my Mac and my iPad, but I cannot find a way to bring the data to the iPad…
Help me please 😀

  Till, we are working on it right now.
Karl

Where is the app data stored locally on the mac? All my data was erased :/
R.J.

I updated and now cannot see/update my grades on assignments ? is anyone else having this problem ?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  R.J., please double check the app’s preferences, it can be that they are disabled.
Hugo

Your app is amazing!
There’s a little problem though… It is no more possible to assign grades to exam!!!
And the grades of the older ones disappeared too
Hugo

Sorry, my mistake…
The option disabled itself…
Joe

I just updated my mac version of iStudiez Pro to the new version. When I did that, it wiped my assignments, classes, and semester from my iPod version. It is still all there on my Mac, but I cannot sync them together.
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Joe, please write a mail to our support and we will provide you with a solution. Also, please mention in the email whether you are using Lion or Snow Leopard. Thank you in advance!
thomas7

Hey, great job 😉 I wonder if you are going to make a easier way to manage grades for french students, because we have a different system… if you need help just ask 😉
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  thomas7, yes please send a mail to our support with the exact description of what is lacking for French students in terms of grades.
Nick

A Killer Feature would be if I could subscribe to and/or share my schedule using ics-files.

You could even host the ics in your “cloud” so it would be easy for your users to add multiple schedules (e.g. from colleagues) to their Calendar.

Also, although I personally don’t use that feature, the user should be able to select which iCal-Calendar should be displayed (only the main Calendar is selectable when syncing multiple calendars with google).
http://fnierhaus.com knisteraffe

thanks for this update! but something is wrong with my syncing. I got two lectures (monday 12 to 2 and tuesday 10 to 12) in one class but apparently only one lecture is synced to my iOS devices. any idea?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  knisteraffe, please tap the lecture that is not synced and then tap Save again, it should sync then. We are now working to figure out why this can happen.
aske

I would love to be able to view my schedule in ical. any chance of that happening?
Gaspar

I think that you could include a Notes Section, where we can take some notes about a course and photos, pdf’s, voice record, etc.
I like so much iStudiez, I’m using it on my mac and iPhone and it is really useful, but before using iStudiez I used inClass and there were this Notes Section which was very useful for me, because I need to make some photos or I have some pdf’s that I use constantly in class, and if you have it there is very very useful.

PS: sorry about my english, (i’m from Spain)

  Gaspar, estamos pensando a anadir Notes, pero ahora tenemos que finalizar el actualizo para iOS 5.
Marius

I’m having an issue with my schedule. I have all my classes set to end when the semester ends, on 12/16/2011. I’ve made sure that they are all set to this date several times, however none of my classes display on the calendar in the Overview section past this week (The stop on October 7th). I’m not sure why this is.
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Marius, please double check the time frames for your semesters/courses/classes, your schedule will only show up in Calendar and Today view within your semester/courses/classes time frames.
http://puttetranar.blogg.se Patrik

After installing the update and synch between my MBP and iPhone only my assignments will synch, all my classes disappeared on the iPhone. (they’re still intact on my MBP. I use the mbp to add all classes etc, I add nothing on the iPhone. It would synch properly before the update).

Also, it would be awesome if you could add notes to classes in the mac-version. I noticed that you can in the iOs version.
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Patrik, could you please try to sync from your mac again and then sync on your iPhone. After the procedure of sync is complete, please send us your iPhone iStudiez Pro data backup.
Zidane

Few small glitches with iOS 5 GM (most noticeable for me is the lack of the wood graphic on the “Today” screen) but otherwise working alright.
Elena

My iPhone doesn’t sync right anymore! I’ve all my data on my mac (lion) but the sync with my iPhone doesn’t work anymore… I’ve already checked the sync direction and it’s right, what can I do? It is a great app and I really need it on my iPhone…
(I sent an e-mail to your support the 4.10 but I haven’t had an answer yet…)
Till

Okay, that means right now there is now opportunity to bring the data from my Mac to my iPad (Except from set up classes, teachers, holidays on the iPad by hand)?!
It would by kind of you to let me now when you have found a way.
claude

Hi,
I’m not a student or a teacher, i’m just working and I need to organize my time. Your app is great for me too !
Just need a view by month too
thank good job

I can’t find your support email can you send me it please?

There appears to be a bug with classes for semesters beyond 2011. I have a semester open with classes in it for the Spring 2012 semester. They sync between my iPhone and Mac, but the times are 9 minutes different on my Mac for that semester. Registration is beginning soon for the Spring, so this will be very annoying as folks start planning their Spring schedules.
Marius

I’ve checked and rechecked all my time frames. I also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iStudiez. All of my courses are set to expire on 12/16/2011, but they all stop after October 9th on the Calendar and Today views.
Andreas

Updated the Mac App and the data is lost on my iDevices.. fix?
Raul Jr

Have you guys submitted update for iOS 5.. since the GM was released already
Lawrence

I am having the same problem as Patrik, I have added all my classes to my Macbook Pro but none are appearing on my iPhone just the assignments. It’s quite frustrating because I rely on this app a lot!
http://www.formfranska.com Anna Robinson

Love iSutiez Pro but there is one important feature that I can’t find: – Copying courses (including classes) from one semester to another semester.
It would really be great if you could implement that cause it takes a lot of time to manually add every course with every class for each semester. Being able to duplicate and copy would definitely speed things up…
Gregory

Hi there, I’m experiencing exactly the same issues that Patrick is, furthermore when I added a class on the Mac, synced, then tried to sync on the iPhone, it still did not work (except for assignments), and when I pressed sync on the Mac again or when it automatically synced after some time the earlier mentioned course disappeared from the Mac as if the course never made it’s way to the server. Have turned off the Cloud on both devices for now.
Gregory

Also on a sidenote, I tried to reenter everything manually on my iPhone and was unable to add a new semester, as when I press +, the screen become stuck on the Date rollers, and will not let me scroll up to the title of the semester or down to the Done buttom.
Patrik

More funky stuff has started to happen. When I synch my iPhone and MBP all my classes are removed from my MBP. Also, if I change the due dates on assignments on my MBP it will have reset when I restart. Noteworthy is that the ONLY thing that happens when I synch is that the classes on my MBP gets deleted.
Patrik

Actually, it seems as if the changes I make recently on my MBP aren’t pushed to the cloud. It seems to be pushed properly from my iPhone though. My MBP also seems to receive changes made on the iPhone that has been pushed to the server. I didn’t have these problems before. Is it possible that my cloud account is faulting somehow?
David Blangstrup

Please let us have the ability to pinch-zoom the weekly calendar!
To comply with the normal gui! Your solution is rather clumsy!
Patrik Jansson

Ignore my previous comments. The latest update fixed my problems spot on:)
Marius

I have to apologize, I made a serious blunder. I reread your original response to my post, and I realized that I didn’t know that you change the length of the semester. I’m sorry for wasting your guy’s time with this, but thanks for the help! Update is great btw!
Zach

Will we ever be able to print our schedules as Jannick asked previously and never got a reply?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Hi Zach!
  
  Yes, we plan to develop printing feature in the future.
  
  Hope to be helpful.
Allyson

when/ Or how can we print our school schedules, and assignments?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Hi Allyson,
  
  Currently this feature is not available.
  We plan to implement it in the future releases of the app.
  
  Hope to be helpful.
